* Callie receives a call from Goro *
"V, We must meet. There is a task I require your assistance with."
"I must warn you however, this requires ... how do you say: balls of steel."
And so Callie met with Takemura somewhere in Japantown.
Goro: "It concerns the fixer-woman at the afterlife. you must acquire a datashard with utmost sensitive information."
V: "Yes Goro-san!"
* With this new task from Takemura, Callie sets off to the Afterlife... *
V: "Rogue, I need a talk with you. Its important." ... Rogue: "Fine, sitdown."
Rogue: "I don't bite y'know. Scoot over some bit closer. ... Besides, I get the impression this needs to stay on the wraps."
V: "Yeah, it does. And I don't even think you're gonna like it much ..."
Rogue: "Nah, It'll be fine, you'll make sure of that, right?"
Johnny: "Careful V, this is usually how the tar starts pulling you down."
V: "It's about Arasaka. I know this guy who wants to topple an important figure with that name, and I know you have knowledge about how to setup an Op to .. 'smash' them top-down as it were.
Rogue: "SHUSH YOU! We do not speak of that here anymore, what's done is done.
V: "I can't Rogue, this cannot be dropped. And by extension that means I need this from you."
Johnny: "See! Her demeanor changes. If you keep pressing this, you'll end up in a gunfight.
* Rogue eventually gave up a contact where she kept a backup plan to storm Arasaka tower. It was hidden via a most unusual means, subliminal programming in a doll from Clouds. 'Ask for Skye'. *
* V meets with Skye and finds a girl rambling on about the assault that sounds suspiciously much ike the one V already witnessed in Johnny's memories. A lot of it falls on deaf ears, but then Skye's tone changes drastically, ominous almost. *
Skye: ... "V, There is something you should know. Close your eyes, and I can reveal for you the truth that is hidden behind you eyes. Flashes of your inner most desires."
Skye: "Breath in..."
...
.........
Skye: "You'll want to chase that someone. Remember the shrines? ..."
V: "H ... How do you ... ?
Skye: "Its written all over your face, V."
Skye: "You'll have it all. Fame, Fortune, But also something you seem somehow familiar with ... A high-placed Corp?"
V: "That doesn't seem so bad? so ... Whats the catch?"
Skye: "You'll be asked to slay the enemies of your new life."
V: "Oh no, Rogue. This can't be serious!"
Skye: "But that is not the worst by far. There will be one other enemy of that life.
V: "NO! This can't be? "
Skye: "You see V... You are your worst enemy in this story..."
